Its president, Dr Koh Kar Chai said the figure was out of the 120 cases reported through the hotline.

Dr Koh explained that the cases will be reported and dealt with including physical assault cases which will be transferred to the MMA representative within its vicinity. He added that a medical career is stressful and help is readily available in the respective hospitals as a specific unit with trained counsellors and psychiatrists.

However, he added that junior doctors are still reluctant to approach the unit for fear of being stigmatised and tainting their key performance indicator for not being able to cope with such stress. Commenting on the training of house officers, Dr Koh said that no reform is needed as the training is already good enough but they must look at the stress levels of doctors who are imparting their knowledge to the trainees.On May 4, the Penang Health Department confirmed that a graduate medical officer fell from the building on April 17 and said this was being investigated. He had been stationed at the Penang Hospital since April 4.
